Don't know where 15 sergeants are, or what units they are from?!?!

Assemble units, call roll, see who is unaccounted for. Send a couple troopers round to quarters of the not present to check on families. Take responsibility for your people. Stop publicly asking others for info YOU should have. It only emphasizes incompetence.

I guarantee Gator State would never hand you such info. Seekers of asylum are entitled to anonymity, among other things.

After the Canadian Armed Forces Administrative office made a series of quick Phone Calls and pouring over enlisted rosters from each Regiment in the New Canadian Army, the 15 Sergeants who left where identified as belong to the Princess Patrica's Light Infantry Regiment.

Not surprised that there are desertions if an NCOs role is to be a servant to the officers.

For a light infantry battalion (I assume that infantry call this echelon a battalion) have 3 infantry companies? the Canadian reference I found said they also have a HQ, 1 combat support company, and a combat service support company. I assume that the former is mortars and AT weapons and the latter is maintenance, medical, and supply?

In the US we have a HQ company that contains all the support, maintenance, medical, battalion HQ, and the scouts and mortars. Some US units have had a support company with the support stuff and the HQ company is just scouts, mortars, and HQ group. Which way does New Canada want to go?

Battalion HQ in a New Canadian Light Infantry Regiment consists of a combat support company who uses the Boys Anti-Tank Guns but no mortars. the Combat Support company handles the Medical, Supplies and Maintenance.

Scouts in the New Canadian Army on the other hand are found only in Armored Recon Regiments.

The Boys anti tank rifle was obsolete in WWII. Have you noticed ven SEEM A PIC of one? The OLD Canadian army was better equipped.

Lost cause, redkeg. Won't read or research. HUPA. Classic case.

We strongly urge you to reconsider your position on scouts and mortars. You've already seen the effects of sending troops into battle without a recon element to provide intel for the line companies. And going blind without any real fire support, and obsolete WW2-era anti-tank rifles for anti-armor support seems like a recipe for disaster. You are trying to reform your military - we urge you to bring them into 2019 and provide your infantry with scouts, mortars, and ATGMs.

We have to try, PG. We're not quite ready to give up home.

Alright, the Combat Support Company Weapons will be replaced with the Carl Gustaf recoiless rifle for Anti-Tank instead, and L16 81mm Mortars for fire support, scouts will be attached in the Battalion HQ, that should bring them up to modern standards.

You want it, you got it, 7.62. Will leave him to bask in it. No more from me. You can't fix it, anyway.

I already just fixed it Panzer. Though normally Recon is largely depended on the Armored Recon regiments, but the scouts are added to the light infantry.

The ROD is walking a fine line between respecting New Canada's wishes and helping them to modernize and reform their military. In the end it is New Canada's army and we will respect their wishes. But if we are going offer advice to them at their request then we have an obligation to point out serious shortcomings and to passionately lobby for important reforms.

We are very pleased to hear that the light infantry battalions will receive some additional firepower and recon assets. This will make the infantrymen more effective and lethal.

We think we have New Canada's vision for the HQ and support hits of a light infantry battalion. Take a look and give us some feedback. You can always combine the battalion HQ and the combat support company if you want to.

With this rough draft there are 3 different organizations:

Battalion HQ (55 personnel)
-Command section (commander, XO, sergeant major and drivers)
-Battalion staff (personnel, ops, intel, supply, etc)
-Communications section (commo and retrans)

Combat Support Company (88 personnel)
-Scout platoon (8 light wheeled vehicles and 24 troops)
-Mortar platoon (4 mortar tubes, 6 light wheeled vehicles, 24 troops)
-Anti-Tank platoon (9 Carl Gustaf systems, 32 troops)
-Company HQ (3 light vehicles, 8 troops)

Service Support Company (107 personnel)
-Supply platoon (15 trucks, 35 troops)
-Maintenance platoon (12 trucks, 24 troops)
-Medical platoon (10 light vehicles, 40 troops) - this includes 6 ambulances and 16 combat medics to be assigned to platoons
-Company HQ (3 light vehicles, 8 troops)
